WALTER LETTER. A Condensed Chronicingof the Happenings of a Week. Walter, N, C, Nov. Sth, '97. Dear Argus: The usual quie tude of our community last Sab bath was broken by a Gretna Green affair. The contracting parties being, Mr. Lon Anderson, and Miss Zilphia Talton, Rev. Ty lor Johnson tying the knot. We wish for them smooth sailing over life's ocean, with just enough clouds for a glorious sunset. For the past few days, we have been having "Indian Summer," the most delightful weather to be found during the year. But the chilling blasts of winter will soon be here, and with "J. M. H.'s" permission, we would suggest that a dose of his "bitters" would then be in order, though that tired feel ing" is out of season. We are glad to see quite a num ber of farmers sowing small grain. If there was more of this done and 'hog and hominy' ' not given sec ondary consideration, and often none at all, the price of cotton would "cut no squares" with them, for plenty to eat and enough to wear, makes any man as inde pendent as a church mouse. Rev. Mr. Crowson, filled his last appointment at Ebenezer yes terday afternoon. There was a laree crowd in attendance. The 1 J church is badly in need of organ, and we learn there is some talk of getting one. Mrs. Dr. Crawford returned from Lexington, last Thursday, and we are glad to know her father is recovering from an attack of typhoid fever. Mr, Jim Edwards and wife and Mrs. Fannie Hooks spent Sundiy at Mr. Toby Howells. Mr. and Mrs. Hetty Wells from near Princeton, were in our community last Sunday. Mrs. M. K. Crawford and Miss Carrie returned to-day from a visit to Mrs. A. L. Ormond. We are in receipt of an invita tion to the marriage of George P. Howell, U. S. Navy, to Miss Louisa Knight, daughter of Maj. Knight, of Willets Point, N. Y. George is a brilliant, good boy and in every sense of the word, worthy the love and confidence of any woman. We wish for them the fullest measure of life's joys and blessings. We omitted to chronicle the death last week of another one of the Fork's landmarks, Mr. Needham Fail, which occurred at his home on Wedn2sday morning, October 27. He bad been in lee bio health lor some time, but was slowly improving, and seemed to be very much bet ter the evening bofore, but was taken suddenly worse, and died in a short time. The immediate cause of his death being organic heart disease. Several of our citizens are complaining of the conspicuous absence of one C. J. Hartley, who claimed to represent "The Wil mington Commercial Art Col lege," and collected pictures to be enlarged, and numerous fees, but has since not been heard from. If he'll kindly return pho tos no questions will beasked.lt is surprising bow many people are "taken in" by such men. But, generally speaking, farmers are credulous men, and think most men honest,which partly accounts for their present condition. It is said that there is a young man in our community who is in "such a good humor all the time, that he laughs at every thing he sees, or hears. In fact he looks so pleasing all the time that the proverbial "basket of chips" is not "in it" at all. We do no, know whether it is the result of his fine crop, or simply because he feels good, or perhaps he has heard from cotton, or somebody left him all their money, or nr or what!! But we are going to organize into a committee cf one, and investigate, and ascer tain which is indicated, a quau turn sufficit" of "Anti Laughing Gas," or a preacher. We will report later.

Dear Argus: The weather is delightful, and our farmers are fast gather in their crops . - Hous ing potatoes is now in order and the crop is rather short. Our people seem to appreciate the position the Argus has taken since the murder of W. A. Carr in encouraging a speedy enforce ment of the law, and in discourag ing violence at the hand of the people. May the people of old Wayne ever show themselves to bo a law abiding people. Mr. J. W. Parker has rented Mr. N. J. Smith's place near Fre mont where be eypects soon to mova with his family, we are sorry to give them up as they are highly appreciated by the whole community, maj .tley do well where they are going.

That seems much better than to have the fresh water cover it all up. The water in Edgerton's mill pond has been so low for quite a while that they could grind but little, but now we are having showers again and you may bring your corn down. Miss Mary C. Massey has re turned from Indiana after an ab sense of two years and is teaching near Dudley. She is one of cur most talented young ladies, and we are glad to have her back. We learn that Mr. W. G. Moore who has been visitirg his parents in this section, has concluded to settle down and not go back to Texas. We will be glad to make room for him and his family right over here in the garden of old Wayne. Miss Lou O. Moore has not fully recovered from an attack of typhoid fever yet, but is some what better at present, Mr. Edward Moore of Georgia is expected back next spriDg. That's right, boys, go off and look about if you want to, but when you get ready to settle down, come back to the garden spot. Reader. Pikeyille Letter. Pikeville, M..C. Nov. 10th. '97. Dear Argus: Mr. J. P. Smith, of your city, was on a business visit to his old home here Thurs day. Mr. E B. Nelson, went up to Raleigh Monday, on a visit to rel atives. The farmers in this section are about done housing corn and the yield, we believe, is fairly good. Our young friend, Mr. Lonnie Smith, returned home Monday from feaulston, where he has been spending some time on a visit to relatiyes and friends. Most of our farmer 3 we believe are holding their cotton with the hope of getting higher prices but it does not seem to us that the in dications are very favorable of their hopes being realized. We would . like to know what those who abused Cleveland about the low price of cotton think of the present price under Mr. Kin ley's administration. Mr. W. J. Hooks, one of our wide awake and progressive mer chants, was on a business visit to your city to-day. Miss Sallic Ham, who has been spending some days in your city on a visit to her cousin Misses. Carrie and Irene Ham, returned home Monday. Messrs. Smith, Port and Co., have about got their suction fans for unloading cotton at their gin here ready for operation. We notice that Mr. A. S. Smith is making preparations for erect ing a new dwelling house on the corner of Ham and East centre streetF. Thus it is that our, little town continues to improve. J. TP. H. To Cure Catarrh do not depend upon snuffs, ichalants or other local applications. Catarrh is a constitutional disease, and can be successfully treattd only by means of a constitutional remedy like Hoo3's Sarsnparilla, which thoroughly puri fies the blood and removes the scrofu lous taints which cause catarih. The great number of testimonials from those who have been cured of catarrh by Hood's Sarsaparilla prove the un equalled power 01 this medicine to J conquer this disease If troubled with . ratamTi rri 1TO XTfrA 'a & Sivaa ra 1 1 o a fair trial at once. , TO CURE A COLO IN ONE DAT.

In view of this the Autonomists, it is said, offered to support the government, but failed to state precisely what kind of support they wjuld give. Notice !
